Do I leave the toggle switch turned on all the time, or just when I need to use the brake? I have another three position switch higher up on the dash, with a red LED in the up position, clear in the middle position, and green in the lower position. Is it related to the brake operation? What are the different positions? I have a truck that used to haul 5th wheel trailers, so maybe the switch is for the power to the trailer?? I have yet another toggle switch as well, off and on, I'm sure it is for the trailer.
Back to the Pac brake... is there a detailed driver's guide or manual online?The pacbrake website only covers installation, it says to see the Driver's guide but I can't find it. All help is appreciated, detail is king!!

On the automotive transmission you just want to have the switch on when your in an area that you plan to use it. basically you don't want it on on city streets unless you have your trailer on, snow, or rough weather conditions that may cause loss of traction. The transmission goes to full lock-up, and causes the transmission to hold gears longer. This can cause you to have a jerky ride around town. So no trailer or trailer in the mountains and long road (with the cruise control on) great idea to have it on--just remember that once you remove your foot off the throttle or touch the drake to cancel the cruise--your brake comes on. of course this all depends on what mode you are in.
As for the other switches--they could be for different options on your brake or if you have more than one fuel tank---you will have to trace out those wires or pay someone to do .
there is an on-line manual at Http://pacbrake.com/PDF/L5046.PDF
